Definitions
- This invention relates to pressure dampers for use in fuel injection systems in fuel delivery systems for engines for motor vehicles.
- the various devices associated with the fuel system cause pressure waves in the fuel to propagate through the fuel rails.
- Such pressure waves if occurring at the wrong time, may have a small amount of fuel leaving the fuel rail and being injected into the engine at the time the injector is pulsed open.
- pressure waves cause noise in the system that may be objectionable.
- Pressure pulses will give false readings to fuel pressure regulators by operating the regulator with a false indication of fuel pressure which may result in fuel being bypassed and returned to the fuel tank.
- Prior art pressure dampers such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,524 issued on Apr. 28, 1987 teach the use of elastic walls forming the fuel supply line. As pressure pulses occur, the elastic walls function to dampen the pressure pulsations.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,197,436 issued on Mar. 30, 1993 illustrates the use of a pressure damper plugged in the end of a fuel rail with a pressure regulator at the other end.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,617,827 issued Apr. 8, 1997 illustrates a fuel rail damper which is a compliant member operable to reduce peak pressure during injector firing events. The damper is positioned in the fuel rail so as to not adversely affect the flow of fuel to an injector opening in the rail.
- the damper is not free to rotate in the rail and the pressure pulses are dampen by the damper which is a pair of welded together shell halves with an enclosed airspace.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,598,823 issued Feb. 4, 1997 teaches an in-line fuel pressure damper from the outlet of the fuel filter to the fuel rail.
- the damper is a pressure accumulator which operative to reduce transient pressure fluctuations induced by the fuel pump and the opening and closing of the fuel injectors.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,411,376 issued on May 2, 1995, also teaches the use of a bellows modulator inside a gear rotor fuel pump for reducing pump noise by reducing the amplitude of fuel pressure pulses.
- a fuel pressure damper is installed in the fuel injection system preferably in the fuel rail and operates to reduce the fuel pressure pulsations which are created primarily by the injector opening and closing.
- the damper has a bellows that responds to the pulsations and operates to contract or expand depending on the magnitude and direction of the pulse.
- the bellows encloses a chamber which is sealed and may contain an inert gas or atmospheric air at any desired pressure. The bellows typically contracts in the presence of a pulse and then expands when the pulse pressure is less than the enclosed fluid or gas.
- the enclosed chamber contains a preloaded spring member which functions to provide a higher pressure threshold to the contraction of the bellows.
- the damper is fabricated to float in the rail and to absorb the pressure pulses.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a fuel rail with one end broken away illustrating the damper of the preferred embodiment
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the damper of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is another embodiment of the damper of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is still another embodiment of the damper of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is another embodiment of the damper of FIG. 1 illustrating an enclosed resilient member
- FIG. 6 is another embodiment of the damper
- FIG. 7 illustrates the damper mounted to the side wall of the fuel rail
- FIG. 8 is another embodiment of the damper of FIG. 7 illustrating an external resilient member.
- a fluid communication device 10 such as a fuel rail 11 as may be found in the fuel management system of a motor vehicle.
- the fluid communication device is a passageway or passageways for either or both a liquid such as gasoline or a non-liquid fluid, such as air.
- This particular fuel rail 11 has four injector cups 12 for receiving four fuel injectors, not shown.
- a pair of brackets 14 for mounting the fuel rail 11 to an engine which is not shown.
- At one end of the fuel rail 11 there is a fuel inlet 16 which is connected through several members, not shown, to a source of fuel.
- damper 18 At the other end of the fuel rail, there is illustrated a damper 18 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the damper 18, in FIG. 1, functions both to seal the end of the fuel rail 11 and to dampen or suppress fuel pressure pulsations or a standing wave pressure pulse.
- the damper 18 of FIG. 1 is a member having a bellows 20 which is formed from a hollow tube 22 having an enclosed end 24.
- the bellows 20 maybe formed of stainless steel, Inconel, electrodeposited nickel, to name but a few of the materials that may be used. Each material must be able to withstand the various fluids or fuels that are in the system.
- the tube is mounted to a plug member 28 in a manner to prevent any fluid leakage from inside the bellows 20.
- the hollow tube 22 may have any suitable fluid contained therein at any desired pressure from a vacuum to a positive pressure.
- the plug member 28 has an O-ring sealing member 30 or the plug member may be laser welded to the tube 22 forming a seal.
- the end of the plug member 28 opposite the bellows end is secured in the fuel rail 11.
- the plug member has an outside diameter which is sized to slide in the fuel rail 10 with the O-ring seal 30 bearing against the inside wall of the fuel rail 11 to prevent any flow of fuel past the plug member.
- the bellows 22 may be fabricated by rolling, hydroforming, welding or chemical deposition. Many uses of bellows are found in motor vehicles such as in aneroids to compensate for altitude; in connecting flexible shafts together; in areas for transmitting axial or angular motion from one shaft to another; providing discontinuities in the fluid path to name but a few applications. The use of bellows as a damper however, has not found in fuel injection systems. In the present application, the bellows' wall is very thin hence very sensitive to pulsed pressure signals.
- the function of the bellows 22 is to received pulsed fuel pressure signals and by compressing or when in tension by stretching, to smooth out the pressure peaks so as to provide a relatively laminar flow of the fuel or fluid in the fuel rail 11 or fluid communication device 10 and into each injector as the respective injector is opened.
- the bellows 22, having its hollow ribs forming the discontinuous wall of the hollow tube 20, provides the resiliency necessary to absorb the pressure pulses.
- the pressure pulses acting on the plurality of the hollow ribs of the bellows 22 operates to compress or stretch the bellows thereby absorbing the pulsed pressure.
- the bellows may be in either a compression mode or in a tension mode as illustrated, for instance in either FIG. 5 or 8 respectively.
- the damper 18 has a plug member 28 is secured to the bellows 22 by means such as a 360° laser weld or by chemical bonding for a leak-proof connection.
- the plug member 28 has an O-ring pocket 34 to locate and secure the O-ring 30 from axial movement.
- the major outside diameter of the plug member 28, as previously indicated is a very close fit to the inside diameter of the fuel rail 11 so that the plug member with the O-ring 30 functions to retain the damper 18 in the position which it is initially placed. Once the plug member is in position the end of the fuel rail 11, the fuel rail 11 is crimped 36 or folded over 38 providing a fixed stop with the flange 40 of the plug member 28 of the damper 18.
- FIG. 3 there is illustrated another embodiment of the damper 18 wherein the plug member 28 is formed to receive a crimping of the fuel rail 11 into a groove 42 in the plug member.
- the bellows 22 functions the same as in FIG. 2, but the end of the plug member has a circumferential groove 42 which receives the crimped end of the fuel rail 11.
- the damper is clipped to the end of the fuel rail 11 by means of a clip 44.
- the fuel rail 11 has a pair of diametrically opposed slots for receiving the clip 44 which is also secured in a circumferential groove in the plug member.
- the end of the plug member 28 has a flange 40 that is formed to provide a positive stop to locate the damper 18 in the end of the fuel rail 11.
- FIG. 5 there is illustrated another embodiment of the damper 18 wherein the hollow inter space of the bellows 22 contains a bias member 46 such as a spring member to provide an additional force.
- the spring member 46 raises the force level or spring rate of the bellows response.
- a higher fuel pressure pulsation is required to actuate the bellows 22.
- This embodiment is used in higher pressure applications such as in high pressure fuel applications. Without the bias member 46, the required thickness of the walls of the hollow ribs would reduce the effectiveness of the bellows.
- a damper 18 which is a floating damper.
- an optional bias member 46 located in the hollow tube 22 of the bellows.
- the open end 26 of the bellows 20 is enclosed by the plug member 48 which also supports the one end of the bias means.
- the damper 18 is located along the axial length of the fuel rail. This is the most typical application of the damper.
- the damper is located orthogonal to the axis of the fuel rail 11 and in a cup-like member 50 which is secured to the fuel rail 11 through an aperture in much the same way as the injector cups 12 are secured to the fuel rail.
- the damper 18 is identical to one of the dampers of the previous Figs.
- the damper is also located orthogonal to the axis of the fuel rail and the added bias member operates to increase the pressure response of the damper.
- the plug member 52 is a tubular member having an O-ring seal encircling the plug member intermediate its ends, preventing fuel from reaching the outside bottom of the plug member 52.
- the bias member 54 bears against the bottom of the enclosed end of the plug member 52 and against the bellows 20.
- the pressure pulses flow into the interior of the hollow tube 22 of the bellows and with the cooperation between the spring force and the hollow ribs of the bellows 20, the pressure pulses are smoothed out.
- a bellows damper 18 has been shown in a fluid communication device 10 such as a fuel rail 11, although such a damper may be positioned in other parts of a fuel or fluid systems such as in cooperation with molded passageways. Such other areas are in pressure regulator, fuel pump motors or any place wherein pressure pulses occur.
